Featured review
An interesting life...
War, poverty, desolation.
When everything looks dismal and negative, how can one escape and persevere? Through music of course.
Terri Hooley had the answer to the misery of his time. By opening a record shop and encouraging locals to create new music he provided an antidote to the gloom and became instrumental in establishing the Belfast punk scene.
Some thought he was mad, but creativity and madness go together and without any regard for consequences he just stormed ahead driven not by materialistic ambition but out of love for music.
An inspiring bio faithfully brought to the big screen, that effortlessly brought a much needed smile to the audience.
